Chloe is a character that I fell in love with from the beginning, where Marco had to earn it. He sees through the lies and has a duh moment. That's when the book gets really good.

Sorry, just could not finish this. I was so turned off by Chloe's Mom, Lydia, I just couldn't take it anymore. I really do like Montgomery's books, but I just couldn't stomach this one. Thanks for the preview.

A sweet fairy tale that could be read as a standalone but is definitely part of a series. I enjoyed the characters and subplots.

With so many Royal themed books out there lately (thank you Prince Harry!!), this one fell a little flat for me. With in the first 10 percent into the book, they have already slept together, I liked more build up. More angst.

The Irresistible Royal,  Alyssa J. Montgomery

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Romance

I'm an eclectic reader and this sort of romance isn't one I pick up often, but after a heavy fantasy read, erotic romance, intense suspense I love to get lost in a straightforward easy to read piece of fiction and this is perfect for those times. Often what looks like a great read for those occasions turns out to be a cut'n'paste dumbed down story and though I want an easy read I need need t to be a solid, realistic– ish story.

Marco is lovely, he's got sound reasoning behind him for not believing Chloe, but of course I could understand her hurt. She's a great character too, brought up by her father who she loves she's strong, independent, and has worked hard at her career. She deserves her success. Her mother is a classic, selfish lady, and I do love finding characters like her in a read, deliciously amoral, always out for the angle that best suits themselves. Alyssa really made her a fabulous character, one we can all love to hate!
So Marco sees Chloe at a party, and they sizzle, right from that first glance. He doesn't want romance, relationships etc. the love of his life died and he's not looking to replace her. Chloe is the classic “good girl” doesn't do one night stands, only has sex within relationships and she's had precious few of them. The party though, meeting her mother and being so disappointed in her all lead her into an uncharacteristic decision that has serious consequences. Funny how fate works, how it doesn't take any notice of what we want, what we plan...

It made for a fun read, an easy story but still with some solid emotion and drama packed in. Its not a books I'd reread I think, but was perfect for what I wanted at that time, an easy but genuine tale.

Stars: Four, fun and light but with some depth to it in parts, and very real feeling characters.

This was an entertaining read, it just wasn’t really something I haven’t read before with a couple of different character names.

I absolutely LOVED this book from start to finish. The very opening scene caught my attention and I just couldn’t put it down. The main characters are deliciously sexy, caring and thoughtful. They faced some dramas and were able to overcome them and forge a beautiful life together. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed the romance between Chloe and Marco. The two had great chemistry and their path to their HEA wasn't smooth and was interesting. Although this is not a clean read, I wouldn't label it erotica either. There are only two love scenes I can think of and neither are what I'd consider erotica. I'm not a big fan of erotica anyways, so the scenes that were included were just right for me. All in all, I'd recommend this read!
